You may have noticed that some of our LUMEN products now contain the suffix “+ GF.” In this article, we will discuss this addition to our skincare line and go over the many benefits it provides our products and our clients.
Just as the rest of our body benefits greatly from a daily dose of vitamins, so does our skin. When applied topically, and in the right formulation, vitamins help protect our skin from certain external stressors while encouraging and stimulating natural processes deep within the skin that keep our complexions youthful and vibrant.
The skin of our lips is delicate. It reacts differently than the skin on the rest of our body, and its unique structure requires an equally unique approach to keeping our lip tissue protected, healthy, and beautiful.
Because August 15th is National Relaxation Day, and the school year will be beginning or underway for so many, we think it’s the perfect time to devote an entire month to encouraging your self-care. Whether you’re taking kids to school, going to school yourself, or are amid the wave of “Falling” forward toward the holiday season ahead, we’re highlighting some of the positive health benefits experienced through daily self-care rituals.
Our Body Renewal Serum is unique to our line of LUMEN skincare products, as it is the only product formulated specifically for use on broad areas of the body.

While everyone’s skin is unique, there are a few certainties that are universal to us all. One certainty is the reduced production of collagen and elastin as we get older.
